Anthony B kept his footing in the roots-conscious corner of dancehall with Save Me, a May 15, 2026 single that arrived through Zinc House Music and Engingear Records and moved quickly across reggae’s digital lanes. The release showed up on Reggaeville, YouTube, Amazon Music, Audiomack, Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, and Juno, a spread that made it clear this was a live, working single, not a throwaway upload.

What gives Save Me its weight is the way it refuses to overplay its hand. RiddimsWorld described the track as more prayerful than combative, and that lines up with the production approach: the voice and message sit in the foreground, while the mix avoids crowding the song with tricks that would distract from the lyric. In a genre where tougher, more confrontational records still grab attention fast, Anthony B chose restraint, and that choice is exactly what makes the song feel credible.

That credibility comes from Keith Blair’s long run as Anthony B, an artist born in Clarks Town, Trelawny, Jamaica, who built his name in the early 1990s on songs like Fire Pon Rome and Raid Di Barn. His catalog has long mixed roots reggae, dancehall energy, Rastafari-inspired commentary, uplift, faith, and social critique, so Save Me does not read like a late-career pivot. It reads like a continuation of the same mission that made him one of reggae’s most recognizable conscious voices.

The rollout also underscored that this was meant to travel. YouTube’s release metadata listed Save Me as provided by Zojak World Wide, LLC and dated it to May 15, 2026, matching the date carried on Beatport. Juno listed the track at 3:41 with a tempo of 159 BPM, details that place it squarely in today’s release ecosystem while still leaving space for the message to lead.

Anthony B has spent decades proving that roots authority does not need to shout to hold a room. On Save Me, he leans into prayer instead of provocation, and that is exactly why the record lands as more than another single in circulation. It sounds like an artist still carrying his lane with discipline.
